Yeah, rate everything as "adult"... that'll go over well with the wifey.
:) And I have a Silverstone mce style case, so no locking mechanism. My

runs ZoneMinder, hosts a few personal websites, and checks and relays my
email. I'd like a way to keep the *others* from exiting Myth and gaining
access to my system. Oh well...
